Participate in small projects or segments of major projects responsible for achievement of cost, schedule, and technical performance objectives.

• Devise new techniques and approaches and provide solutions to a wide range of technical problems by drawing on their own areas of technical specialty and consulting with other engineering specialists for technologies where they do not have in-depth expertise.

• Review and coordinate work with other team members to ensure progress is maintained to achieve specified aims; prepare data for reports on technical findings, recommendations, accomplishments and progress measured against specific plans; perform assignments as required by contractual agreements.

• Attend conferences and meetings to represent assigned activity. Develop working group meeting agendas, prepare and consolidate briefing materials, provide meeting minutes, and draft answers to action items assigned by other agencies or organizations.

• Review and provide assessment and assistance to programs on Nuclear Hardness, Electromagnetic Interference / Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMI/EMC), shielding applications, and Engineering Technical Analysis Requests.

• Author and publish white papers, formal analyses, and briefing materials to document engineering-based rationales to inform decision-makers in support of recommendations to our customer.

• Complete other duties as assigned by the Government customer.

Responsibilities include

• Provide technical advice to Government leaders and engineers.

• Support requirements development, analysis of alternatives, verification and validation activities, and milestone preparation.
